Lucky me.

All you have to do

is ask

-Randy Pausch

Hello there! I have finally finished a simple project off,
that somehow seemed to take forever to do. There is good reason however, for my
tardiness. I have been given so much ‘stuff’, that I have had to spend lots of
time going through and sorting. Anyway I found a cute little Father’s Day
banner in a book? net? And couldn’t help but make one. I do intend to attach
each of these little ties to a long piece of bias binding after it has finished
being on a book display.

Great way to use up
scraps of material.

I’m not complaining here, so if I come across as doing so,
forgive me, it is not my intention. I have now been given 12 boxes of
everything we craft people would gouge each other’s eyes out to get and my
sewing shed is filled to the brim. Suez, you’ll love this.......I had Heather
over yesterday and let her have a pick at the boxes. All you could see of
Heather were her feet dangling out of the boxes!!! She was all tired and needed
a cup of tea after all the hard work.

Once again, no complaining being done here, but these are
just two of the boxes of goodies. Tell me the person that gave them to me
wasn’t a hoarder!!!

Perhaps she owned a shop?

Look at those boxes with zebra’s on them. There were at
least 30 of them. I’m actually very thankful to have them because I will line
them with tissue paper and fill them with sweeties for the Father’s Day stall
at our school. Yes, there was wool too!!

This is a scarf I am knitting for a friend, the wool comes
via one of the 12 boxes. It is an interesting textured yarn but God help me if
I were to drop a stitch. Talk about knitting, I’m excited but sworn to
secrecy....there are more babies on the way again. I guess the clicking sound
of knitting needles will be well and truly happening here.

A couple of good bits of reading. A fantastic book from the
library to help use up all the material I have and also a Homespun magazine to
keep me out of trouble.

Well it’s been go, go, go, around here lately and I
promised myself this Sunday afternoon I would give myself some time off.
